Game Changer – Ram Charan and Shankar’s Film Sparks Mixed Reactions Ahead of Sankranthi Release
The much-awaited trailer for Game Changer, starring Ram Charan and Kiara Advani, was unveiled by SS Rajamouli on Thursday, sparking mixed reactions from fans online. Directed by Shankar, the movie is set to hit theatres on January 10, perfectly timed for Sankranthi celebrations.
Ram Charan’s Dual Roles Impress Some Fans
In Game Changer, Ram Charan takes on dual roles as a father and son. The trailer showcases his transformation across multiple looks, a feat that left some fans impressed. One admirer took to X (formerly Twitter) to say, “Me after watching Game Changer Trailer. Inni variations chupettav entayya (How did you show so many variations)!”
Déjà Vu for Others
However, the trailer also evoked a sense of déjà vu for many viewers, with comparisons drawn to Shankar’s earlier films like Mudhalvan and Sivaji. The themes and beats of the film appeared familiar, leading one fan to comment, “Good Trailer cut of Game Changer, though the beats of the film we have seen a million times before. But as of now, enough to bring the audience to theatres.”
Mixed Optimism
While some viewers remained underwhelmed by the trailer, they expressed optimism for the film’s theatrical experience. A fan wrote, “Nachinda trailer. Naa okkadiki ekkaleda (I didn’t enjoy the trailer, and I don’t think I’m alone). But similar to how I felt before Waltair Veerayya, maybe watching this in theatres will be a different experience.”
What to Expect
Game Changer marks Shankar’s maiden foray into Telugu cinema and promises a father-son saga centered on themes of righteousness. Known for his grand narratives and socio-political undertones, Shankar has set high expectations despite concerns about repetitive storytelling.
With Sankranthi around the corner and a powerful star cast, Game Changer is poised to be a significant release. Whether it lives up to its ambitious title remains to be seen when it hits the big screens on January 10
